Portrait of a Seated Man

Cornelis Ploos van Amstel (editor) and Johannes Kornlein (printmaker), after Cornelis Visscher

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person seated. The individual has a high forehead, prominent cheekbones, and a slight mustache. They have middle-parted hair styled in loose curls by their ears. They are wearing a dark, buttoned garment with a white collar and a bow or ruff. There is draped fabric suggesting a robe or outer garment. In the background, a curtain with tassels is partially drawn aside. A table or furniture piece is nearby. Soft shading outlines the figure and surroundings.
